It isn't a question of blaming them, it's a question of damage control. If someone is obese, you help them cut down their access to KFC and big macs. If someone is a cokehead, you keep them the hell away from cocaine. And then once you've instituted some short term damage control, you can look...

I'm honestly really confused about the fact that people relate to their character's model to the extent that they feel that the gender of the character is somehow an aspect of, or an influence on, their personality. To me, saying it's weird for a man to make their character female is like saying...

No it isn't. A bullet proof vest is made with the primary purpose of defending oneself, pepper spray is made with the primary purpose of defending oneself, etc, a gun isn't. A gun is only designed for defense in the sense that you use it to kill the other person before they kill you. You could...

God, those animations look almost as bad as Oblivion/Morrowind, and the spell effects aren't a whole lot better. They get points for the environment though, which seems fairly nice. Stat system sounds awfully bland, and I thought we'd decided that mana was a terrible mechanic. While I'm...

I'm sorry, but those really aren't comparable. A gun isn't just any other object, it is one made with the sole purpose of killing. That differentiates it a little from a pen or a hamburger, I'd say.

I'd bet that those countries have stricter controls on access/storage and less dangerous firearms available to the public. Edit: Doubles, muhbad.

I'm not sure what the point of that article is. They say he 'confronted' the shooter, but it sounds like all he did was pull his gun out then go hide? I mean I think he did the right thing in not trying to be a hero, but couldn't he have just as easily gone and hidden in a store without a gun...

Don't bother trying to convince Americans that there's a direct correlation between how easy it is to get a gun and how many people get killed by guns. That special little piece of cognitive dissonance is very deeply embedded into the American psyche.

There is absolutely no link between religious belief and morality. You're free to believe whatever you want, but insinuating that if this kid had just been told to believe in Jesus that he wouldn't have done what he did is not only wrong, it's insulting to everyone involved and humanity at...

They say there is here: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/f...vite-a-friend/ But when I logged into my account page I couldn't find a link to give out invites. Maybe they ended it?

Damn America, wtf is wrong with you. I don't even know how you guys are even surprised by this shit anymore, it happens so often. Kids though, that's an extra serving of fucked up :/

There's really no way we can guess what's up over the internet, you'll just have to cough up and go see a dentist. It's easier to just get it over with, I was having trouble with one of my wisdom teeth, felt like the entire side of my head was being crushed in a vice, this went on and off for...

Terry Pratchett recently did a documentary about the right to die comfortably and on your own terms after he was diagnosed with alzheimers, definitely worth a watch, even if it is depressing to think about such an awesome author kicking it

Not sure what they're trying to achieve here, what could this have to offer that players can't get in other games?

Why are radio DJ's still a thing? The whole affair is pretty sad, it's a shame that they tipped a mentally ill woman over the edge, but on the plus side, that's two less annoying assholes who think they're funny on the airwaves.

I already put this in the political thread because I forgot we had a 21/12/12 thread, but pretty funny shit from a usually boring PM. Amazed she actually did it. http://main.aol.com/2012/12/06/julia...n_2258155.html

Was an entertaining watch, but he's funnier when he's raging on star wars, the whole Titanic thing felt a bit late and the review seemed kinda disjointed

Yeah the combat was clunky (although definitely no worse than EQ), but the game was still a blast thanks to the RvR. I'd go back to playing it in a second if there was a legit server with a decent 2 - 3k population. I tried Uthgard but it wasn't worth crawling through the oldschool levelling.

Gave it a spin, but wasn't a fan of the controls/graphics.

Ahhhhahahh I remember that one, was hilarious. It actually happens more often than you think. There was a massive one back in the 19th century iirc, the bible and Revelations has hardwired the idea of some apocalyptic end of the world into our civilization. Personally I don't see why people...

Cool trick to increase the zoom capacity further and shrink the UI:

I would have enjoyed the few Rand chapters there were if they weren't 2/3 him whining about all the women who've been killed for him.

God I don't hope so. On top of it making no sense on so many levels, it would just be cheesy as hell. The way he keeps tying Merlin into the stories and linking him to modern day characters has to be one of my least favorite aspects of the books, why can't he just leave him in the past? Time...

I'd like to see the old one, maybe slightly updated to reflect recent events, but in the same style. continuity is always nice.

Been playing again lately and having fun. Not something I'd want to get stuck into hardcore, but it's good for an hour here, an hour there, let off steam by mowing through demons and hopefully get a few good drops to sell on the AH.

This whole drama overload is making my brain hurt. Like most of you, I'm more pissed off that he fucked up a smooth migration than about the mangina thing. Couldn't he have just come out all 'Surprise, I have a dick!' and we all have a good laugh and continue on at MN, but instead he goes and...

They thought EQ2 would be a big thing, and we all know how that turned out.

I'm a half elf half dragon trapped in the body of a geeky white guy, don't judge me

^ heh. I'm going to grab a 6 pack and enjoy chilling online watching all the crazies go nuts when the world doesn't end. Anyone have some good suggestions for boards where all the Lumie's hang out?

Man I can't even keep track of all this drama anymore. Countdown till the next mangina is revealed?

Finally got around to watching the latest ep. For the most part I've enjoyed the first half of the season, it's good to see they're sticking to Regina's redemption instead of having her flip flop every week to create artificial drama, actually felt bad for her at the end thereOn the other hand...

/brofist to that

Go! http://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/06/op...ugs/index.html

It"s so refreshing to hear that someone on this board can handle their shit and take a sensible approach to relationships. If this happened to anyone in the married/GWBYH thread, they"d drag the whole process out into 2 years of denial and passive aggressive nice-guy attempts to mend the...

Welll disclosing all this to the internet certainly won"t look good for him, but if they believe even a fraction of what he"s said/what we"ve been shown about her, it"ll look a lot worse for her. Best thing that can happen is that either the baby isn"t his, or she has a miscarriage.

When do we find out if the baby is yours? I"m on the edge of my seat here man. And Ravenn is right, that chick is seriously fucked up, and the best thing you can do for the kid is make sure that she has as little chance to influence it"s childhood as possible. I know they say a kid needs a...

Any more than a mouthful is a waste.

Yeah, she"s actively repulsive and sounds completely batshit insane. I actually have to doubt that she"s cheating on him, simply because I have a hard time imagining there could be anyone else out there willing to touch that with a 10 foot pole. I mean I"ve slept with some women I"m not...

First of all, serious props for holding your cool while people shit on you like that, it"s dumb as hell, but it takes balls to bear yourself for the internet like that. Also dude, you"re no calvin klein model, but you can definately do better than that troglodyte. On the emotional side of...
